Answer:

76°

Explanation:

two parallel lines intersected by a transversal create several types of angle pairs - some of which are equal to each other, and some of which are supplementary

in this problem, ∠BCD ≅ ∠ BFG because they are 'corresponding'

therefore you can create this equation

x + 26 = 2x - 24

26 = x - 24

x = 50

substitute into '2x-24': 2(50) - 24 = 76
